Mapping Drilling Agency/ Location Sampling Remarks Mineral/ Scale Area No. of Meterage Reserves/Resources estimated District (sq km) boreholes GSI Andalusite Sonbhadra Banwarjharia------G4 stage investigation for andalusite Mairpur area was taken up in Mahakoshal Group. The area of investigation is occupied mainly by meta-sediments of Parsoi Formation and younger acid and basic intrusives as well as granitoids of Dudhi Granitiod Complex. Two andalusite occurrences viz. Rantola-Katauli in west and Banwarjharia-Kurgi on east were mapped. Andalusite occurs as porphyroblasts within phyllite and schists of Parsoi Formation of Mahakoshal Group. Andalusite is also noted within pegmatite and quartz veins intruding phyllite. The andalusite bearing phyllite and schist forms a linear ridge in ENE-WSW direction occupying an area of 33.59 sq km. The andalusite noted here is mainly

“chiastolite” variety (Al2SiO5). The resource estimated per metre depth for 33.59 sq km is 7.7 million tonnes approximately with grade- 8.43% (Wt%) by weighted average method. The resource estimated for placer andalusite is 0.03 million tonnes approximately for average thickness of gravel beds- 1.00 m for an area of 0.15 sq km. Glauconite Sonbhadra Newari-Semiyan --- 802.35 40 G4 stage investigation was taken up. area Barawadih, Semiyan and Kurccha blocks were covered by Detailed Mapping and scout drilling and Kanachh, Kandhura and Kajrahat area was covered by Large Scale Mapping. 802.35 m scout drilling has been carried out in Semiyan block and South of Manib ki Pahari block. Glauconite occurrence was recorded in bedded and pellet form in Bashuhari Formation of Semri group. Study of drilled cores together with borehole geophysical data of Semiyan block reveals glauconite mineralisation is occurring at three different levels in depth. 1.33 million tonnes of resource was estimated on the basis of data of boreholes NSH-1, 2 & 3 in Semiyan

Analytical results of 40 nos. bed rock samples of Barawadih area

show K2O value ranges 0.61% to 6.56 % with an average value of 4.31%. Analytical results of some spot samples of Kurccha block show maximum value

for K2O is 11.09%. Iron ore Sonbhadra Bharhari area ----- G4 stage investigation was carried out for resource evaluation of iron ore in Mahakoshal Group. The area is characterised by Son Narmada North Fault (SNNF), trending ENE–WSW and other sympathetic faults in phyllitic country rock. In the mapped area, five BIF bands parallel to each other are observed trending N70E- S70W over a strike length of 20 km with width ranging from 170 m to 450 m.The BIF bands are interbanded with phyllite. Apart from this major BIF zone, several other banded haematite jasper (BHJ), banded haematite chert (BHC) occur. Analytical results of grab samples from

BIF yielded Fe2O3 value ranges from 40.63% to 62.51%. The investigation has been completed. Pyrophyllite Lalitpur Dongrakhurd- 1:2000 - 5 518.22 - G4 stage investigation for pyrophyllite- Gatholikalan Diaspore was taken up. Large scale area mapping has been carried out in Gatholikalan, Pyasa, Kusmar, Dongrakhurd, Baron, Gona, Uldana Kalan and Saidpur areas and Detailed mapping on 1:2000 scale was carried out in Tikra and Loharra areas. Scout drilling with a meterage of 518.22 m in 5 boreholes was carried out in Kherpura, Jhankar and Tikra areas. Pyrophyllite is light green with greasy lustre and occurs in association with quartz- sericite-pyrophyllite schist and quartz vein. The pyrophyllite mineralisation was not observed on the surface, but core recovered from drill holes reveals visible pyrophyllite mineralisation. Pyrophyllite mineralisation was observed in quartz-sericite-pyrophyllite schist at various depths in drill hole KH- 1, KH-2, JH-1 and JH-2 at Kherpura and Jhankar areas.
